The Suicide of Mark Linkous from Sparklehorse was confirmed earlier today in an official statement from his family.
That Sparklehorse only released four official albums reflects unfairly on Linkous’ work; outside of his private umbrella, he collaborated and produced and collaborated again.

I love it when familiar or (in)famous faces turn up unexpectedly in new contexts. It happened when KK Barrett of the Screamers showed up as Spike Jonze’s production designer, and it’s happening now with David McDermott and Peter McGough’s new film, Mean to Me, a 12-minute end-of-the-affair noir starring Agyness Deyn, in her acting debut.
You may (or may not) remember McDermott’s immortal harangues from Glenn O’Brien’s TV Party. Exhibit A:

Can you imagine a crazy world in which Meg Matthews had no job?
Actually, Yes, because she’s not really ever had a job, has she? So the stretch for BBC One’s Famous, Rich And Jobless isn’t so very great.

Submitted by xrrf on 2 March, 2010 - 15:03
So, it’s official: Mark Thompson is going round to 6Music and the Asian Network and asking them to turn the music off. Not straight away, though:
During the briefing Mr Thompson said the earliest 6 Music and Asian Network would close would be by the end of 2011.
It was reported on Friday that the two digital stations would be closed, after the report was leaked to The Times.
6Music: Davie regrets line of action, continues to follow it
Submitted by xrrf on 7 March, 2010 - 14:14
In a bid to try and persuade a dubious public that killing off a radio station makes perfect sense, Tim Davie did a blog post. He came to bury 6Music, not praise it:
“Clearly we didn’t arrive lightly at the decision to recommend the closure of 6 Music: it is distinctive, much-loved and I too am passionate about its output.”
Hit with a writ better than none? Machine, Dance settle

After Gang Gang Dance asked Florence out of Florence Welch’s Amazing Musical Machine how it was that Rabbit Heart sounded so much like their House Jam, the two parties have come to a legal settlement.
Liz Bougatsos sounds almost as if she doesn’t quite believe Welch’s claims that one song was a tribute to the other:

Sean Lennon denies Yoko selling out his Dad for money
Submitted by xrrf on 6 March, 2010 - 19:52
Oh, sure, Yoko Ono might have pocketed a bunch of cash for letting Citreon chop John Lennon into an advert. But Sean Lennon is keen to defend his mother - it’s not about the money at all:
Writing on micro-blogging site Twitter, Sean Lennon said the ad was “not for money” but was intended to keep his father “out there in the world”.
“Having just seen [the] ad I realize people are mad,” he wrote. “But [the] intention was not financial.”
